The Ghosts of Our Pain

Here I stare,

into a mirror,

made of broke pieces.

I put on a fake smile,

as I practice every night,

no one knows the difference.

My eyes,

full of melancholy,

stare back at me.

The dark pupils swim with ghosts,

that haunt me.

I wonder, 'ghosts of sadness, why do you taunt me?'

These ghosts trap me,

I cannot escape;

I fear I'll die here.

I wonder,

'will I ever break free

from this mad toture?'

Unfortunately I think not,

for the ghosts of our pain

will feed on my fear like vultures.
